I just hope I’m not around to see what happens when we actually go to war with a significant enemy.

It won't matter. The great sea battles of the past; Leyte Gulf, Coral Sea, Guadalcanal, Jutland, battles where men in ships slugged it out with each other won't be fought in the future.

War with a significant enemy will start nuclear right from the get-go, probably by us. Carriers will be obliterated by single weapons traveling at hypersonic speeds that we never saw coming. Women (and children) will die by the millions. It won't make any difference if they're wearing a uniform or not.

“War with a significant enemy will start nuclear right from the get-go”

I don’t think so.

“probably by us.”

Oh, that’s despicable. We went through over half a century of MAD, and never launched. That’s because we are the good guys.

OMG. BS. Nukes will never be used. Were nukes used in KOREA, VIETNAM, AFGHANISTAN? NO!! Why? When only one nuke would have ended all those wars.
